The best self emptying robot vacuum and mop for pet hair Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

A robot vacuum/mop combination is the ideal solution for pets that shed fur. The machine can mop and vacuum, and even dry and clean its own mop pads.

It also has 8,000Pa suction which is the highest of any robot we've examined. It also allows you to create cleaning schedules and save maps of your house from its app.

1. Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The X2 Omni robot vacuum-mop is the latest in Ecovacs range of hybrid robot vacuum mops. This wet-dry model is equipped with Ecovacs' upgraded AIVI 3D 2.0 lidar system that offers better mapping and obstacle avoidance. The system is dual-laser LiDAR -- similar to what is used in self-driving cars and is able to scan an area of up to 32 feet by 270 degrees. This translates to more precise mapping, quicker response times, and higher cleaning accuracy.

It also has a rotating mopping pad constructed of chenille fabric. This makes it easier to scrub tough areas unlike traditional mops. In my tests it was able to clean the X2 Omni washed its pad in less than a second and got to work. I noticed that it was more accurate than other models that seemed to follow the grid of rooms. It was able to navigate the corners and edges of my rooms and also create "Zambani patterns" up and down the middle of the room. It returned to its OMNI Station frequently to empty the dust bin and clean the mop with hot water before beginning another cleaning task.

Like other Ecovacs products, the X2 Omni is easy to set up and begin using. It takes just minutes to snap the dock into position, plug it in and connect it to your home Wi-Fi network. You can then open the app to begin your first cleaning task. I was able to customize my floor plan in less than 15 minutes. This included creating limited areas for sweeping and mopping, reworking the placement of furniture on the wall and more. The X2 Omni did a great job during my tests, with excellent scores in cleaning pet hair and debris cleaning, as well as near-perfect results in cleaning crevices and edges.

2. Deebot T10 Omni

The ECOVACS T10 Omni is an extremely powerful mopping and vacuum cleaner. It is the most advanced of the T-line offered by the company and features the brand new OZMO Turbo2.0 mopping system that makes use of a dual-spinning brush to provide better cleaning than traditional scrubbers. It also has YIKO, which is a natural language processing system that is the first of its kind. It can respond to a variety of voice commands. You can make use of the ECOVACS app to map your home, create cleaning schedules and adjust settings.

The biggest con with the T10 Omni is that it's not able to switch from mopping to vacuuming in one run. The T10 Omni has two modes that require you to attach mop heads to and from the vacuum according to your needs. This is fine for the majority of households, but not for people who have a busy schedule.

However, the Deebot Omni is an excellent robot vacuum that has impressive results in our tests on pet hair. It was able to remove more than 96% of the particles we tossed at it on our hardwood flooring, which is an outstanding performance. It also did an excellent job on tile and carpet, removing over 90% of dirt and other debris.

This robot vacuum and mops has a large docking system that allows for automatic cleaning using cool mop pads. It also features an auto-emptying 3L bag that is easy to replace and hot air drying for quick and easy maintenance. It also has a huge water tank that allows frequent washing and drying between mopping runs.

The Deebot T10 comes with a wash tray that is built into its base, which is similar to other mopping robots. It uses the wash tray to rinse and dry its mop pads while it is using them. It does not have a removable tray, so dust, dirt and other grime will gradually build up on the bottom.

3. RoboVac X8 hybrid

While Anker-owned Eufy is well known in the robot vacuum space, this model is its first venture into the world of mopping. It is equipped with enhanced intelligence and support for multiple maps, LIDAR scanning and twin-turbine technology that automatically adjusts for the floor you're cleaning. It's a mid-range robot cleaner that's appealing even if its claim of being a one-stop-shop for floor cleaning doesn't come true.

The X8 Hybrid appears to be a standard robotic cleaner from the top. It has a circular shape with the sweeping wheels, as well as a raised sensor area. However, flip it over, and you'll find a motorised floor brush plus one side sweeper brush which pushes dirt from the edges into the main pathway of the robot's mouth. It's a bit smaller than the main brushes of the iRobot Roomba S9 which I found made it easier to reach under couches and chairs.

The mapping system is quite sophisticated that allows you to create no-mop zones as well as specific cleaning zones. It has a tendency of hitting things such as its charging station, and isn't very good at navigating over carpets. It was capable of picking up pet hair from floors that were bare, though, and in our tests it was able to pick up 89.5 percent of litter, which is higher than any of the most powerful robots we've examined.

Although it can be controlled via the app, the X8 Hybrid also comes with physical buttons on its base, which allow you to select a cleaning mode, and Robot Vacuum Mops switch the robot off or on. You can also use them to set no-go zones and see maps in real-time. It's a bit chatty and will tell you what it's planning to do next ("start cleaning") or warn you that something's not right (it isn't able to charge, for instance).

4. ILIFE A4s

This model is high-tech and sucks up pet hair, kibble and other particles with top-quality effectiveness and effortlessly moves around furniture legs. It also has an impressive feature set that includes two cleaning modes as well as a self-emptying dock and real-time obstacle avoidance technology. The Wi-Fi enabled device can be controlled via the Neato App, where cleanings are scheduled and maintenance needs are monitored. The X2 Omni is an excellent choice for homes that have a a mix of hard carpet and floors, but it requires some advanced planning to avoid getting stuck on power cords, toys or other obstacles that might be unexpected.

This robot did well in our tests of hardwood floors and kibble. It picked up everything from a single rice grain to a variety of dog food pieces, with only one swipe. It did have some issues with rugs, but generally speaking this vacuum cleaner is perfect for large rooms that have floors of different types as well as a mix of pets.

It's a bit expensive, but if you can manage the price, it's a great purchase for those who want to be able to leave their homes completely free to perform other tasks or complete chores. The A4s Pro has a convenient auto-cleaning mode that increases suction to take on difficult dirt or spills. It also includes a battery-powered ElectroWall to define the boundaries of the robot.

This budget-friendly model from a popular upstart brand is the most affordable robot we've ever tested and provides an incredible value for money. Its basic navigation system uses an extremely basic random pathing algorithm, but it doesn't have room mapping capabilities, which makes it less time Efficient 1800Pa Suction Robot Vacuum - Ideal for Pet Hair than the other models on this list. However it's still able to reach under furniture and in corners and its mopping feature performed well in our testing it picked up pet hair and other debris effortlessly.

5. Shark iQ

Shark's iQ may not appear as durable, but it is better in cleaning pet hair off all surfaces. It cleans floors that are bare more thoroughly and does a good job on carpets with a low pile and also uses smart-pathing navigational technology for greater maneuverability. It also allows you to assign it to a specific area, and its advanced suite of automation features include no-go zones as well as scheduling. It also allows you to pause and restart cleaning sessions which is ideal for homes that have pets.

Its self-cleaning brushroll helps prevent tangles with pet hair and other debris and its bagless self-emptying dock station can hold up to 30 days worth of dirt before it needs to be emptied. It comes with of side brushes that are angled to reach into corners, as well as a multi-stage filter system to capture dust, dander and allergens.

This vacuum feels solid and well-built, and it works with a smartphone app that lets you change its vacuum settings and schedule cleaning sessions in advance. The app lets you view the remaining battery life of the iQ and also receive push notifications in the event of any issues during a cleaning session. You can make use of your voice to control the device using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device If you don't have either options, you can mark areas with physical boundary marker strips.

The iQ excels at cleaning bare floors and it does well on carpets that are sagging and low-pile. However, it doesn't offer the same level autonomy as our top selections. It's also costly and the cost of recurring use can be quite costly.
